Scorchin Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Looking to rent a decent quality bass for around 2/3 weeks early February. What kind of price range am I looking at for: [list] [*]Fender P-Bass [*]Musicman StingRay [/list] I'm in Nottingham, but recording will be in Edinburgh, can pick-up at either location or can commute to collect. Would it be better to just buy and then sell immediately after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 What kind of security are you anticipating having to offer anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of good studios will have their own 'house' instruments & back line - which for basses is bound to be a nice Fender Precision & or Jazz - & very often they'll be used to recording with that particular bass & should be able to get you a good sound very easily...

Doubt I would be able to get sufficient cover should anything happen. Also don't trust myself with other peoples basses which may be precious to them. After all, I doubt I'd do it!

Sadly they don't seem to have any basses listed. Will send an e-mail through now to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silky13 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 hey mate! What recording studios are you going to?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorchin Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) @silky13 Chamber Studios Crisis averted, turns out they have a 1975 P-Bass. Should probably have left that out since Beedster will be straight up there buying it! @NickThomas I have a squire p-bass, which I have used to record with previously, but is now knackered and has grounding issues.

silky13 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) ah right cool its sorted! I would've lent you my Jackson KBX, but it would sound guff recorded im sure... my p-bass is too precious... dont let anyone play it, no i lie i let the gf hold it for a minute but she said it was too heavy! oh and forgot to mention, give me a shout when you're in edin and maybe we could go for a pint or something!

LukeFRC Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 have fun up here! who are your band? you playing any shows at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorchin Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Band is called Ghost Cassette, obligatory myspace: [url="http://www.myspace.com/ghostcassette"]http://www.myspace.com/ghostcassette[/url] However, only 2 of the tracks there are good examples of our change in sound. Don't think we're playing while in Edinburgh, but you never know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
